Church of flamboyant Gothic style, located in Melun, dedicated to Saint Aspais, and classified as a historical monument

Built from 1515 to 1555 on the plans of the architect Jehan de Félin, its construction is in the flamboyant Gothic style. Dedicated to Saint Aspais, the first apostle of Melun who lived at the end of the5th century or the beginning of the 6th century, it has known various fortunes. Burned and plundered, it became the temple of the goddess Reason during the Revolution. Bombed in August 1944, the spire of the bell tower was destroyed and the fire melted the bells. The church was restored during many years and it is classified as a historical monument since February 21, 1914.

Magnifique monument historique religieux. Les vitraux d'époque, les œuvres religieuses sont d'une grande beauté. La visite de la tour fut une expérience riche en découvertes. Le panorama est exceptionnelle avec une vue à 360° sur l'ensemble de la ville et des environs. Une belle découverte locale.

Eglise remarquable par la totale irrégularité de son plan trapézoïdal (plutôt rare) que par les traces des différents styles architecturaux qu'elle présente. Les écroulements ou destructions successives ont nécessité maintes reprises du bâtiment..
